As the warm season begins, the question of choosing protection against ticks and fleas for our pets arises. One of the options is a dog collar.
While choosing a collar, it's important to pay attention to its features, namely, whether it's a repellent or a contact-acting insecticide.
Collars that contain chemical compounds work effectively, quickly, and visibly. However, like most medications, they may have contraindications, so it's important to read the instructions before use.
Biological collars (repellents) contain a composition of plant extracts whose aroma repels insects. They have no contraindications for pregnant and lactating animals, as well as young and sick animals.
So here are the main rules for choosing a collar:
- Pay attention to the purpose of the collar (repellent or contact-acting insecticide).
- Collars that contain chemical compounds cannot be used on pregnant and lactating animal, as well as sick and young animals.
- Choose a collar that fits the size of your pet's neck. Do not use a collar intended for large breeds on small pets and vice versa.
- Before using any veterinary product, it's recommended to consult a specialist who monitors your pet's health.
- Purchase the product from a trusted specialized place (pet store, veterinary pharmacy, etc.).
- When using both spot-on treatments and collars, pay attention to their active ingredients. It's best if they belong to different pharmaceutical groups.
- The collar should fit securely around the neck but not be too tight. Ideally, there should be approximately one finger's space between the neck and the collar (two for larger breeds).
However, some insecticidal collars not only provide functionality but also have an aesthetic aspect.
When choosing a collar from the PROFILINE range, you are choosing effective protection and quality colored ribbon. The color of the collar can emphasize your pet's image and brighten up their fur.
